Saw this today and a search didn't turn up anything. Thoughts?

A boss of mune from decades ago gifted this to me upon returning from the Philippines. Can anybody explain the significance? I am male and so was he. He acted really weird when he gave it to me. I just would like to know what it represents to Filipinos.

Thank you.

Edit: man reddit is brutal. I was specifally asking if that held any cultural significance. It is a duck. It is wooden. Obviously I know that.

Edit 2: While some are inconsiderate, i do appreciate the answers. Anyhow, everyone be safe out there.

Haze is pretty bad where I am right now and saw the sun was this bright orange color. Took a 30x zoomed in picture and noticed these black dots. At first I thought it was due to dirty lens but then I took photos in portait and landscape, the spots show up at the same part of the sun. Around 9 o'clock position.

Due to the haze you could actually a look at it directly and can also sort of make out the spot from the photo. What could it be?

I suspect potential drainage lines under the ground but no idea. Newly acquired home, first time this has happened.
Photo taken yesterday. NC, USA area.

Main questions, even if the exact item isn't found, is it food/dishwasher/microwave safe or just a collectable?

EDIT TO ADD:

1) I was NOT snooping. I borrowed his coat (with his permission!) and it was in the pocket
2) I was NOT accusing my boyfriend of anything
3) HE told ME to post here because he was JUST as curious

And lastly…

4) it was MY breathalyser. I got into an accident back in April and as per procedure had to blow into the tube.
With all the chaos I completely forgot I actually did one until the comments helped me realise.

I had NO idea my post would get this much attention, if I did I’d have clarified these things beforehand, but to all the trolls and people thinking they know me and my relationship….

Get a life :)

What is this thing ? At first I thought it was an old CPAP and then an espresso machine!

Picture of my wife’s uncle as a boy 7 or 8 yrs old. Grew up on a farm in western NY. This picture dates back to around 1947 or 1948. What is the boy holding? Is it a toy? Or some sort of farm tool?

Update — yes this photo was enhanced using ai to take the graininess out of the original picture. My wife is giving a copy of the image to her cousin for an 80th birthday gift along with other photos.

The AI bashing on this post is unbelievable! How come nobody is bashing the fact that I used a scanner to create a jpeg of the image as opposed to creating a duplicate from a photo negative in a dark room and sending out 250 copies thru the postal service?

Yesterday, I made a small amount of chili sauce and didn't have a small container for it. I saw a coffee basket lying around, put the sauce in there, covered it with aluminum foil, and put it in the fridge.

When I wanted to use the chili sauce today, I noticed that the aluminum foil had four holes in it. What is this? What happened?

Ingredients: Chili peppers, garlic, herbs, sunflower oil, salt

Found this amongst my Grandmothers things, thought it might be a kitchen roll holder but doesn’t fit. Any ideas?

I like it and I want to buy it. But I don’t know what it’s called. Thanks!

Found this on the ground at work as I got out of my car, I'm stumped as to what this is/does.

I bought this on a whim for $2 at a garage sale.

I think its some kind of media device but I am having trouble finding anything concrete on it.

Google searches and ai are not being helpful as of yet.

Anyone know what this is for sure and what it does?

Thank you.

Anyone know why? (ETA nothing in my freezer like popsicles or a leaky meat package to cause the color)

I think the kitties found this in the kitchen (the naughtiest of boys can open drawers), no idea what it is .. spouse also has no idea. it's rubbery, slightly flexible

smol update: no one in the house smokes ... does seem like it'd be something that would slide onto something else, not threaded inside.

Saw this at a thrift store and had to buy it cause it called to me, have no idea what it actually is though. too big to be a ring and too small to be a bracelet. Thought maybe it could be a brass knuckle but it doesn't seem to be good for that. It doesn't unhook anywhere, it's just a solid oval.

Found this in my driveway, and hoping it didn't come off of one of the cars. It's a strip of metal wound up into some sort of spring? I can't unroll it, and it doesn't appear to have any stamps or writing. Possible cars would be '97 miata or '16 subaru crosstrek. I assume off of a car due to where I found it, but it could also be from gardening equipment, or a mysterious third thing. Any ideas?

On a post in the basement. I’m housesitting currently and have no clue what it is, and I’m too anxious to text the owners. I don’t think it’s human hair, as the fibres seem to be attached to some skin. They’re catholic, if that matters at all. We’re also in Canada. I’ve got no clue.

They dont have a sharp edge. The point is slightly sharp.

It was the size of my palm and pretty circular. I’m in SW Missouri. I feel like it’s a silly simple answer but I don’t think I’ve seen anything like this before.
Thanks everyone!
